By SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, mitochondrial proteins having covalently-bound flavin were analyzed. Mitochondria were prepared from the liver of rat injected with radioactive riboflavin. Radioactivity was found to be associated with four protein components. Their subunit molecular weights were 91,000, 72,000, 60,000 and 44,000. The first two components exhibited yellowish fluorescence on a gel under ultraviolet illumination. The component of the highest molecular weight seems to be a new protein containing covalently-bound flavin. 相似文献

To test the hypothesis that guanine nucleotides activate adenylate cyclase by a covalent mechanism involving pyrophosphorylation of the enzyme, we studied the effect of a novel GTP analog, guanosine 5′, α-β-methylene triphosphate (Gp(CH2)pp), with a methylene bond in the α-β-position that is stable to enzymatic hydrolysis. Gp(CH2)pp was as effective as GTP in stimulating rat reticulocyte adenylate cyclase in the presence of isoproterenol. Previously only guanine nucleotides with modified terminal phosphates such as guanylyl 5′-imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) were thought capable of causing persistent activation of adenylate cyclase. Gp(CH2)pp, however, caused persistent activation of rat reticulocyte and turkey erythrocyte adenylate cyclase. We conclude that guanine nucleotides do not activate adenylate cyclase by a pyrophosphorylation mechanism and that a modified γ-phosphate is not essential in guanine nucleotides for generation of the irreversibly-activated enzyme state. 相似文献

It was shown that calmodulin (CM) activates the adenylate cyclase (AC) of rabbit heart light sarcolemma in the presence of micromolar free Ca2+ concentrations and this effect is blocked by trifluoroperazine and troponin I. GTP (in the presence of isoproterenol) and Gpp(NH)p are able to increase the CM-dependent activity of enzyme. It was concluded that there is no special CM-dependent "form' of AC in the heart and the common catalytic component of AC can be regulated both by CM and guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory component (N-protein). In the presence of Ca2+ and guanine nucleotide heart AC exists as a complex: CM-catalytic component-N-protein. 相似文献

Isolation of homologous and heterologous complexes between catalytic and regulatory components of adenylate cyclase by forskolin-Sepharose 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Homologous and heterologous complexes between catalytic and GTP-binding components can be isolated by means of immobilized succinyldeacetylforskolin (forskolin-Sepharose). A heterologous complex is formed by reconstitution of forskolin-Sepharose bound catalytic function from rabbit myocardial membranes with the homogenous [3H]methyl-GTP-binding protein from duck erythrocyte membranes. Analysis of the reconstituted complex by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis reveals that only the Mr 42 000 component of the GTP-binding protein's Mr 42 000/Mr 35 000 heterodimer contributes to the formation of active adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

The rat liver microsomal enzyme CTP: phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.41) which catalyzes the formation of CDP-diacylglycerol has been found to be markedly stimulated by GTP. The requirement for GTP is absolute, the novel GTP analogues such as guanosine 5′-[β,γ-methylene]-triphosphate, guanosine 5′-[α,β-methylene]-triphosphate, guanosine 5′-[β,γ-imido]-triphosphate and guanosine 3′-diphosphate 5′-diphosphate are without significant effect. Maximal stimulation occurs at 1 mM GTP. ATP at a concentration of 5 mM totally inhibits the formation of CDP-diacylglycerol even in the presence of optimal GTP concentration. Analogues of ATP such as adenosine 5′-[α,β-methylene]-triphosphate, adenosine 5′-[β,γ-methylene]-triphosphate and adenosine 5′-[β,γ-imido]-triphosphate are without effect on the reaction. The addition of fluoride (8 mM) likewise abolishes the stimulatory effect of GTP. 相似文献

The binding characteristics of the α-component of (?)-[3H]norepinephrine to hamster adipocyte membranes were studied. Binding was rapid, reaching equilibrium in 20 min at 25°C. Dissociation of specific binding by 10 μM phentolamine suggested dissociation from two different sites. The time course of dissociation induced by a 50-fold dilution was unchanged by the addition of norepinephrine, suggesting the absence of cooperative binding sites. [3H]norepinephrine binding was saturable, yielding curvilinear Scatchard plots. Computer modeling of these data further supported the existence of two classes of binding sites, one with high affinity (D = 23 nM) but low binding capacity (96 fmol/mg protein) and one with low affinity (KD = 400 nM) but high binding capacity (1000 fmol/mg protein). Adrenergic ligands of competed with [3H]norepinephrine binding in the following order of potency: (?)-norepinephrine>(?)-epinephrine>>(+)-norepinephrine>(?)-isoproterenol. Displacement by the selective α-adrenergic drugs prazosin, clonidine and yohimbine yielded biphasic curves consistent with binding of [3H]norepinephrine to both α1- (14–22%) and α2- (78–86%) receptor subtypes. Although Gpp(NH)p failed to alter the binding of [3H]dihydroergocryptine, it severely reduced the binding affinity of (?)-epinephrine, (?)-norepinephrine and the selective α2-agonist, clonidine. The inhibitory effects of clonidine and of the α-component of (?)-epinephrine on the adrenocorticotropin-stimulated cyclic AMP production in the intact adipocyte were closely correlated with their effects on the binding of both [3H]norepinephrine and [3H]dihydroergocryptine. Conversely, yohimbine but not prazosin markedly antagonised the α-inhibitory effect of norepinephrine on cyclic AMP production. These data led to concluded that [3H]norepinephrine can be successfully used to study the entire α-adrenergic receptor population of hamster fat cells and that the predominant α2 -receptor subtype exists in two different affinity states for agonists, the proportions of which are modulated by guanine nucleotides. 相似文献

Heparin inhibits (I50 = 2 μg/ml) the activity of luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin-stimulated adenylate cyclase in purified rat ovarian plasma membranes. Unstimulated enzyme activity and activity stimulated by NaF, GTP or guanosine 5′-(β,γ-imido)triphosphate were inhibited to a lesser extent. Human chorionic gonadotropin binding to this membrane preparation was inhibited by hepatin (I50 = 6 μg/ml). The inhibition with respect to hormone concentration was of a mixed type for hormone binding and adenylate cyclase stimulation. Inhibition by heparin was not eliminated at saturating hormone concentration. The degree of inhibition was unaffected by the order in which enzyme, hormone and heparin were introduced into the assay system. Herapin (3 μg/ml) did not affect the pH activity relationship of basal and hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and did not change the dependence of enzyme activity on magnesium ion concentration. The inhibitory action of heparin cannot be solely attributed to interference with either catalysis or hormone binding. The possibility is considered that the highly charged herapin molecule interferes with enzyme receptor coupling, by restricting the mobility of these components or by effecting their conformation. 相似文献

Pretreatment of pigeon erythrocyte membrane vesicles with amino acids, ATP, GTP, Pi and some other simple cell constituents (singly and in combination) causes an increase in ATP-dependent Ca2+-uptake activity of vesicles upon subsequent incubation with 45Ca2+ after removal of the above agents from the ‘i’ face. Amino acids augment the stimulation by all stimulatory agents and are required for stimulation by Pi. The effects of amino acids, ATP, GTP and Pi all occur at physiological concentrations. Many if not all of the effects of the mixture of amino acids that occur naturally in the cells can be accounted for by the group transported by the ‘ASC’ transport system of Christensen (Christensen H.N. (1975) Biological Transport, 2nd edn., W.A. Benjamin, Inc., Reading, MA), but not by any single amino acid at its physiological concentration. The effects of ATP and GTP are not mimicked by their non-hydrolysable β, γ-imido analogues nor by the corresponding 3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphates. None of the effects described appears to involve calmodulin. We suggest that amino acid transport plays a role in metabolic regulation through effects on cell [Ca2+]. Analogous effects on cell [Ca2+] may be involved in the action of the many hormones which augment amino acid accumulation by the ‘A’ amino acid transport system. 相似文献

Various analogs of adenosine 5′-triphosphate with a modified terminal phosphate group have been tested in energy-requiring reactions with intact mitochondria and submitochondrial particles.It is shown that the fluorophosphate analog ATP(γF) is a strong inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration and of energy requiring reactions which involve the participation of high energy intermediates, generated aerobically by the respiratory chain. On the other hand, ATP(γF) does not affect the ATPase activity of intact or disrupted mitochondria and is less effective in inhibiting ATP-driven reactions.The imidophosphate analog AMP-P(NH)P also inhibits the partial reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, but does not affect ATP synthesis from ADP and Pi. In contrast to ATP(γF), it is a strong inhibitor of both soluble and membrane-bound mitochondrial ATPases.The biological implication of the complementary effects of ATP(γF) and AMP-P(NH)P on mitochondria-catalysed reactions is discussed while suggesting the use of such nucleotide analogs as specific tools for the study of ATP-forming and ATP-utilizing reactions in mitochondria. 相似文献

Activity of purified protocollagen proline hydroxylase was enhanced several fold by addition of nucleoside triphosphates (3 mM) to the assay medium, but nucleoside mono-and diphosphates were almost inactive. Pyrimidine nucleotides were less effective compared with purine nucleotides, among which GTP was the most effective. dATP and ATP analogues such as adenosine 5′-(β,γ-imino) triphosphate (AMP-PNP), adenosine 5′-(β,γ-methylene) triphosphate (AMP-PCP), etc. were inactive. ATP or GTP showed no additive effect on enzyme activity stimulated by dithiothreitol or bovine serum albumin. 相似文献

Pretreatment of intact NG108-15 cells with pertussis toxin suppresses opioid inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation mediated by the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein, Ni, which apparently also mediates the inhibitory nucleotide effects on opioid against binding. The toxin treatment had no effect on opioid agonist binding measured in NG108-15 cell membranes without sodium present. However, the toxin potentiated the inhibitory effect of sodium on agonist binding, leading to an agonist-specific reduction of opioid receptor affinity in the presence of sodium in the binding reaction. The potency of the stable GTP analog, GTP gamma S, to reduce agonist binding in the presence of sodium was little changed in membranes prepared from pertussis toxin-treated cells compared to control membranes, whereas the potency of the stable GDP analog, GDP beta S, was magnified. The data indicate that ADP-ribosylation of Ni by pertussis toxin potentiates sodium regulation of opioid agonist binding and that the communication between Ni and opioid receptors is not lost by the covalent modification of Ni. 相似文献

The characterisation of the alteration in amino acid sequence of the immuno globulin heavy chain of IF4, a charge mutant of the myeloma line MOPC 21, is described. This was achieved by comparing the sequence of mutant IF4 heavy chain with the known sequence of the wild type. The peptic fragment (Fab′)2 from whole immunoglobulin, and all the ten CNBr fragments of MOPC 21 wild-type and mutant IF4 heavy chains, were identified and characterised. The only difference was in a tryptic peptide of the C-terminal CNBr fragment which had the same amino acid composition, but different electrophoretic mobilities. Thermolysin digestion products showed that asparagine 415 of wild-type heavy chain had been replaced by an aspartate in the mutant. Analysis of newly synthesized immunoglobulins from wild type and mutant showed the same charge difference, which did not seem therefore to result from deamidation.Fingerprints of the [32P]mRNA of IF4 heavy chain were prepared. The T1 ribonuclease oligonucleotide that includes the coding sequence for residue 415 in wild type was not found in mutant IF4.The mechanism is most likely a missense point mutation (A to G transition) in the MOPC 21 heavy chain structural cistron. 相似文献

One of the characteristics of malignant cells is a poor response to hormones and a low level of cyclic AMP. Whilst this is true of intact P388 mouse lymphoma cells, high levels of adenylate cyclase (ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1) activity can be measured in particulate preparations of these cells. When ATP is added to the incubation medium of intact lymphoma cells, the cyclic AMP level is enhanced. This effect of ATP is not mediated by adenosine, nor is it enhanced by NaF. The ATP content of the lymphoma cells is much lower than that of CH23 Chinese hamster fibroblast and PCM3 hybrid cells, whose cyclic AMP levels are not affected by the presence of ATP. This suggests that adenylate cyclase, in the lymphoma cells, is bathed in a pool which is deficient in substrate. The substrate concentration of this pool is thought to be elevated by addition of ATP to the incubation medium with ATP, itself, crossing the plasma membrane. 相似文献
